That's what Ocean Spray said. We tried. We failed. My mom's making the pineapple one this year. I might make it, too.

Vegetarian Dressing

3/4 C onion, diced
1/2 C celery, diced
1/2 C apple, peeled & diced
2 tsp. dried or 3 T fresh minced parsley
1/2 tsp. dried sage
1/4 tsp. salt
pinch cayenne
4 C bread cubes
1/2 C raisins
1/4 C chopped pecans
1 T vegetable oil
1/2 C + 2 T veggie broth (or chicken or beef if you insist and you aren't serving vegetarians)

Preheat oven to 350. Saute onion, celery, and apple with spices/herbs until tender.

Combine bread mix with onion mix, raisins, pecans, stock, and oil. Mix well. Season to taste wtih salt & pepper. Adjust liquid if needed. Put mixture into a greased baking dish.

Bake covered for 20 min. and 15-20 min. uncovered. Serves 4.

FYI, the first recipe was given to me by my mom. I don't know where she got it. The dressing recipe I found on the web last night, but I copied the recipe down instead of bookmarking the page. I haven't tried either of these, at least not yet.
